Rising from the depths of the Arabian Desert, a unique adventure awaits guests of Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at Kingdom Centre

With unprecedented access to Saudi Arabia’s magnificent natural wonder, the Tuwaiq escarpment, the new Extraordinary Experience in the Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts collection promises a trip of a lifetime.

In the company of a dedicated Four Seasons team, the excursion begins by making your way to the historic oasis of Ad’Diriyah, once the seat of the Saudi royal family and home to a Unesco World Heritage Site. After a captivating trip through the kingdom’s historic past, comprising the 15th-century palaces, forts and mosques across the old city, and a lively exploration through the colourful market centre of Al Bujairy, you will find yourself revelling in the beauty of your ultimate destination – the Edge of the World.

Once you have had the opportunity to absorb the epic scale of the 700-km-long Tuwaiq escarpment from Jebel Fihrayn, the cliff that is known as the Edge of the World, you start to understand the apt nickname for this spectacular vista that is seemingly limitless.

The traveller can look forward to spending the afternoon trekking, photographing the dramatic views of the cliffs and the plains below.

For the more adventurous, this is the ideal moment to take to the skies and enjoy a magnificent view of the expansive landscape from a microlight aircraft.

The day ends amongst the acacia trees in the valley below, where you watch the setting sun as it paints the surrounding scenery with the colours of twilight.

Rolf Lippuner, General Manager, Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at Kingdom Centre, says: “Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at Kingdom Centre is delighted to launch this extraordinary experience that provides guests with a remarkable opportunity to explore the wonder of the Arabian Desert while gaining a richer insight into Saudi heritage.
